Comment 16 for bug 226072

Further pieces of information to spare users some headaches:

Before dpkg-buildpackage is invoked,
nano -w vdr-plugin-burn-0.1.0~pre21/setup.c
to replace demuxtype_vdrsync with demuxtype_projectx in line 89.

Before the final /etc/init.d/vdr, unless there is a writeable /video/iso on your system,
nano -w /etc/vdr/plugins/plugin.burn.conf to make sure it exists and has the --isodir=/mnt/your/video/iso set (commented out with typos in original).

Also before the final /etc/init.d/vdr,
mkdir a directory for each background you are going to require in /var/lib/vdr/plugins/burn/skins,
cd into each respective directory and add the respective backgrounds e.g. from http://vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Vorlagen_(burn-plugin)#Vorlagen like
wget -O menu-bg.png http://vdr-wiki.de/wiki/images/c/cc/Burn-template-007-1.png
to the extent permissible in your jurisdiction.

For debugging, the logs once activated in the plugin setup will appear in /var/lib/video.00/vdr-burn.*
